#1 Eddie Chapman was a criminal, but he was also a dedicated professional criminal. He was a prince of the underworld, in his own estimation. He was married, and another woman was pregnant with his child.
#2 Chapman had a difficult childhood, with little money and not much love. He soon developed a talent for misbehaviour, and a distaste of authority. He joined the army, but was arrested for going absent without leave and sent to prison.
#3 Soho in the 1930s was a den of notorious vice, and spectacular fun. It was a crossroads of London society where the rich and feckless met the criminal and reckless. Chapman found work as a barman, then as a film extra, earning ÂŁ3 for three days doing crowd work.
#4 The Jelly Gang was formed in the early 1930s, and they began targeting high-class furriers and pawnbrokers. They stole ÂŁ15,000 from the safes they broke into. Chapman began spending money as fast as he could steal it, and he became friendly with many famous people.
